2020 property tax notifications arriving Your Douglas County Taxes mapping app shares details about distribution of money STAFF REPORT

With 2020 tax bills and notifications arriving in the mail starting this week, Douglas County property owners might have questions about what happens to the money collected.

According to a news release, even though property tax bills are paid to the Douglas County treasurer, the money is distributed to various taxing authorities associated with a property, according to a news release.

“Where you live in the county determines which taxing authorities serve you, how much your property tax is and, ultimately, where your property tax dollars are distributed by our office,” Dave Gill, Douglas County treasurer, said in the news release. “Typically, less than half of the property tax you pay stays with county government.”

Students graduate from Eagle Academy with high hopes Douglas County night school helps teens get back on their feet, students say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Collin Rogers-Peckham moved from one school to the next in the Douglas County School District, he continually fell behind in his education. Several bouts of strep throat, he thinks spurred on by stress and anxiety, resulted in a growing number of school absences.

The more days he missed, the more his grades slipped. Finally, he decided to apply for Eagle Academy High School in Lone Tree, the district’s only night school, where there are smaller class sizes and a heightened focus on the individual student.

“I was getting into a really dark pit in (traditional) public schools,” he said. “Feeling like I wouldn’t accomplish something.”

At Eagle, the 18-year-old from Highlands Ranch noticed an immediate difference. He could go to the counselor and be transparent about his struggles. He learned more about the paths students can take after high school. He felt a personal connection with teachers.

On Jan. 17, Rogers-Peckham gradu-

Students at Eagle Academy attend school from early afternoon into the evening to allow them to focus on responsibilities outside of their education, like working part-time while attending school.

Collin Rogers-Peckham and Hadley Pletscher, seniors at Eagle Academy, graduated on Jan. 17.

PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS ated from Eagle with his high school diploma. The alternative school helped him make a life plan, he said, and feel excited for his future.

Eagle’s schedule allows students to pursue their education while fulfilling responsibilities outside of school, like working part-time, or just getting back on track after falling behind.

“Our philosophy is we meet kids where they’re at when they walk in

the door,” Principal Jeff Broeker said.

Eagle works by quarters. It receives new students every nine weeks and graduates seniors twice a year.

The school emphasizes mental health support, employing four mental health professionals who work with the 150 students.

Students usually qualify in at least one at-risk category defined by the

state, like truancy or insufficient credits needed to graduate, Broeker said. Some have learning disabilities or special needs.

Students apply to Eagle and interview with the principal. Broeker always has a waitlist, and not everyone is accepted. Class sizes are small, which he believes ensures teachers connect with students. He thinks of the school as a “big extended family.”

“It’s very hard to fall between the cracks here, but that’s a good thing, because sometimes kids don’t ask for support. They’re hoping you see they need support,” Broeker said.

Douglas County disputes claim in STEM shooting STEM victim says sheriff’s office provided inadequate security

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County’s attorney said the county is not liable for the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch after one of the victims filed a claim against the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office in October.

The student, Brendan Bialy, alleges the sheriff ’s office didn’t provide adequate security for STEM because it didn’t assign the school a resource officer.

Two STEM students were arrested on suspicion of carrying out the attack, which left one student dead and eight injured in May. The sheriff ’s office and STEM disagreed over appropriate duties for an SRO leading up to the 2018-19 school year and didn’t enter into a contract to have an SRO cover the school, according to a lengthy news release the sheriff ’s office issued a few days after the May 7 shooting.

STEM instead contracted with a private security company. An armed security guard was on duty during the shooting. The guard, who has

Douglas County Attorney Lance Ingalls disputed Bialy’s claim in a written response.

“Your claim suggests that the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office (DCSO) is or could be liable for failure to provide a school resource officer (SRO) to STEM at the time of the shooting,” Ingalls wrote.

“Charter schools are authorized to contract for services as it deems appropriate and STEM did not have an agreement with DCSO for the 2018-2019 school year for an SRO or other security services.”

DCSO did not have authority to be at STEM outside of responding to 911 calls during the shooting, the attorney said, which it responded to “immediately.” Ingalls said the claim asserted the sheriff ’s office was liable under the Colorado Government Immunity Act. The act covers when a government entity is or is not immune from liabilities.

“It is not clear how and why you believe not having such an agreement between STEM and DCSO for an SRO or other type of security results in a waiver of the CGIA, but Douglas County does not agree with this apparent conclusion,” Ingalls wrote.

Lawmakers aim to divide 18th Judicial District More than 1 million residents live in current four-county jurisdiction

POPULATION BY DISTRICT Population of some Front Range judicial districts: • 18th Judicial District (Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln) — 1.026 million • 4th Judicial District (El Paso, Teller) — 738,939 • 2nd Judicial District (Denver) — 716,492 • 1st Judicial District (Jefferson, Gilpin) — 586,354 • 17th Judicial District (Adams, Broomfield) — 581,135

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The start to a new legislative session has reignited plans to split up the state’s fastest-growing and most populous judicial district — the 18th Judicial District. Or, what one lawmaker called a “monstrous” chunk of Colorado crammed under a single district’s oversight.

In short, lawmakers say the district is pressured by rapid population growth and increasingly diverse communities with different individual needs.

“It has become monstrous, so to speak. Just a very large judicial district compared to all the others,” said State Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, RHighlands Ranch, a bill sponsor.

Colorado state lawmakers on Jan. 8 introduced House Bill 20-1026, which would create a 23rd Judicial District by splitting the 18th in two. The district today serves more than 1 million people and comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

The next largest, Colorado’s 4th Judicial District, serves fewer than 750,000 people.

If passed, the bill would leave Arapahoe County in the 18th Judicial District and place the remaining three counties into another, creating Colorado’s newest judicial district in decades.

The state has operated 22 judicial districts for the past five decades despite growing in population by more than 3.5 million people in that same time, the bill states. Colorado had four districts at statehood.

Creating a 23rd requires a twothirds vote by the general assembly.

State Rep. Mike Weissman, D-Aurora, considered introducing similar legislation last session and is one of the bill sponsors. It’s scheduled to go before the House Judiciary Committee, on which he sits, this month.

State Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, and state. Sen. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, also are sponsoring the legislation.

“Grateful to have bipartisan support in both chambers,” Weissman said. “I think it’s a recognition that there’s some good sense in the bill.”

A ‘unique’ district Van Winkle said putting Arapahoe County — which has a population of roughly 650,000 people — into its own district and leaving Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln in another will allow the counties to customize a district to their local needs. Particularly as Arapahoe and Douglas have created a “somewhat separate culture and political trend,” he said.

“The voters of each Douglas and Arapahoe county should be able to elect a district attorney that reflects their hometown values,” Van Winkle said.

Source: Combined county populations from U.S. Census Bureau’s estimated July 2018 figures

George Brauchler, shown here at a July 2019 press conference, was first elected district attorney for the 18th Judicial District in 2012.

FILE PHOTO More than 104,000 of Douglas County’s 261,399 registered voters are Republican, compared to 50,636 Democrats. Of Arapahoe County’s 434,029 registered voters, 140,098 are Democrats compared to 107,538 Republicans.

For 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, a Republican, ideological differences alone aren’t good enough reason to split the district.

Redistricting can make a significant difference for hot-button issues, he said, naming the death penalty as an example. Every person on death row in Colorado comes from the 18th Judicial District.

“I think there are people out there who want to upend the criminal justice system,” he said. “What’s the best way to do that? Change out who the decision maker is.”

Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties all lean Republican while Arapahoe County voters have supported Democratic candidates in recent election cycles, he said. Placing Arapahoe County into its own district could open the door to electing a district attorney who opposes the death penalty, although capital punishment could be repealed altogether if Senate Bill 20-100 is successful.

“If we’re going to the point of, how to draw district attorney lines merely or purely to accomodate political interests, I think we’re making a huge mistake,” he said.

That’s not the case with the bill to create a 23rd district, he said. To Brauchler, the 18th’s growth and some budgetary concerns add legitimate reasons to consider redistricting it now.

“Where else do you see a multicounty jurisdiction where one of the counties has exploded the way

Douglas has?” he asked.

The county’s population has more than doubled since the 2010 Census, according to Douglas County’s population estimates from January 2019.

Brauchler said he supports the bill, although he believes the judicial district could continue operating “in its current configuration.”

“I think it’s probably something that is overdue and important for this jurisdiction, but really only this jurisdiction,” Brauchler said. “We’re so unique and we’ve grown in such a unique way.”

Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said splitting up the districts would give counties the freedom to create specialty courts needed at the local level. Her priority is mental health courts.

Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said the county supports the bill, but officials will keep a close eye on impacts to the county budget.

‘Things have changed’ If passed, both the 18th and 23rd districts would elect their own district attorney in November 2024.

The winner would assume office in January 2025, also when the 23rd is planned to be up and running.

The change needs to revolve around district attorney elections, Weissman said, which take place every four years in conjunction with the presidential election.

Weissman noted judicial districts are typically set up in one of three ways.

The first approach is letting a populous county comprise its own judicial district, like Boulder or Denver.

The second is pairing one populous county with smaller ones, and the

final is clustering rural or less populous counties together.

“The 18th is the only district that consists of two of the most populous and fastest-growing counties in the state,” Weissman said.

Thomas said she’s eager to see the bill passed.

“Things have changed. Populations have changed. The needs of the communities have changed, and by getting this done, Arapahoe County will be better able to focus on the needs of their community and our three counties can really focus on our needs.

Which is huge,” Thomas said.

Van Winkle commended Brauchler, a Parker Republican, for his management of the diverse district.

“He has some extremely rural parts in the district, in terms of Elbert and Lincoln counties. He has Douglas, which is mixed, and of course pieces of Aurora and all of Arapahoe County,” Van Winkle said.

Brauchler, who was elected in 2012, is serving the final year of his second term as DA and cannot seek reelection in the district. District attorneys are allowed to take a term off and then run for election again, a spokesman for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said.

Brauchler has not ruled out a run for district attorney in 2024 or a future political career, but he’s not sure what his plans are once his term ends this year.

“I’m not being coy here when I say I don’t know,” Brauchler said. “I think I’ve got a lot more in the tank to give to the community. I just don’t know what that looks like yet.”

Keeping watch Brauchler stressed a judicial hasn’t been created since the 1960s. Setting up a new district will be difficult.

“There’s no playbook for this,” he said.

The bill requires the judicial department to report its progress in creating the new district, with input from the counties, at hearings held under the State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive and Transparent (SMART) Government Act. During those, departments present performance plans that detail their operations and budget requests to the Joint Committees of Reference.

“There really has to be ongoing attention to the transition process,” Weissman said. “We can’t pass a bill and forget it.”

DISTRICT FROM PAGE 6

A final report is due at the hearings in 2026 detailing the entire transition process.

The report must address what went well in creating the new district and what aspects of the transition caused trouble. Plus, recommendations to legislators for smoothing the process for future changes to judicial districts.

“So, the next time a judicial district needs to be created, we already know what that wheel looks like.

That district isn’t going to have to recreate a new wheel,” Thomas said.

The department is required to budget for any costs associated with creating the district through the 2025 fiscal year.

The SMART hearings, or oversight of the transition, are crucial in Arapahoe County’s stance on the bill, Sharpe said. Arapahoe’s support is “contingent upon the financial interests of our constituents being protected by the bill,” she said, and ensuring the transition is well-planned.

The county’s revenue is limited by TABOR, and officials anticipate one day outgrowing the county’s justice center. That could mean needing more courtrooms, judges, support staff and space. The county appreciates having four years to prepare for a new district, so it can learn more about impacts to the county and prepare, Sharpe said, including the financial impact.

“Those are all things that we have been talking about, not only with our jail but with our justice center,” she said.

Costs associated with setting up a new district remain unknown, Van Winkle, Weismann, Sharpe and Thomas said.

Thomas doubts expenses will incur before 2023 or 2024. Van Winkle said they should be minimal. Weissman believes allowing ample time to set up a new district will spread costs over several years, making them easier to absorb.

“We’re giving kind of a long glide path, a long landing slope,” Van Winkle said.

Years in the works Talks about dividing the district have gone on for years, but plans swung into full motion in the 2019 legislative session as Weissman carefully considered introducing a similar bill.

“It’s something that I have been thinking about for years, just reflecting on the large population of the current 18th, the fact that it’s growing quickly,” Weissman said.

Growing interest from prospective bill sponsors and local officials caught his attention last year, he said. But Weissman changed course following a Jan. 30, 2019 meeting with various stakeholders, including county commissioners and judicial department staff.

Douglas County commissioners urged swift action to alleviate pressures on the district, particularly

POPULATION OF 18TH DISTRICT COUNTIES • Arapahoe County: 651,215 • Douglas County: 342,776 • Elbert County: 26,282 • Lincoln County: 5,610 Source: U.S. Census Bureau’s estimated figures as of July 2018

with a 2020 election around the corner, what would have been the next opportunity to elect a 23rd district attorney.

A memo from the office of then Secretary of State Wayne Williams stressed if a bill wasn’t introduced in 2019, a new district attorney wouldn’t likely be elected until 2024. Any bill introduced after 2019 wouldn’t leave enough time for district attorney candidates to get on the ballot, according to the memo.

Thomas helped spearhead the county’s efforts to split the judicial district in 2019.

The county compiled a report finding it was paying roughly 33% of district costs while accounting for less than 25% of felony crimes.

About 81% of serious felonies and 70% of all felonies were occurring in Arapahoe County. Counties’ contribution to the budget is based on population, but felony crimes require more resources and manpower.

Brauchler said it’s fair for the counties to question the costsharing and if Douglas has been subsidizing Arapahoe’s crime, but he wondered how Arapahoe County will make up for the budget shortfall as its own judicial district.

“That’s going to be tough,” he said.

Not everyone urged immediate action. Arapahoe County commissioners pleaded with stakeholders in the January 2019 stakeholder meeting to slow down.

Waiting for 2024 would provide an adequate study period to figure out how to set up a new district, they said, and how to fund the transition.

Weissman, heeding those warnings, decided against introducing a 2019 bill at the meeting’s end.

“It became clear that was too much too quickly,” he said.

‘Creating history’ Weissman didn’t stop working on the issue after deciding against 2019 legislation.

“I’ve had a lot of conversations over the last year,” he said.

Talks with the four counties, the state judicial department, public defenders and district attorneys informed the bill, he said.

Thomas initially preferred passing a bill in 2019 so that new district attorneys could be elected in 2020.

She was excited by the prospect of splitting the district, and confident it would be good for her community, she said.

Now, Thomas says she’s grateful they have four years to take on the task, should the Legislature pass the bill. She understands the desire to take a transition slow and do it well, she said.

“Let’s face it,” Thomas said. “No. 1, we are creating history here.”

Sensory-friendly program provides art for all Unique program gives kids with disabilities a place to enjoy arts

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Metherds are still new in town but have found a community at the Lone Tree Arts Center and its sensoryfriendly shows.

The family of four moved to Lone Tree from Houston in September and instantly felt at home at the Lone Tree Arts Center and its sensory friendly programming, a unique program that for sensitive and disabled children that gives families like the Metherds an opportunity to enjoy the arts without worrying about aggravating their sons’ sensitivities to sound.

Cheryl and Jon Metherd, and their sons, George and JJ, have every monthly sensory-friendly show of the season marked on their calendar at home.

“We love them all,” Cheryl Metherd said. “It’s just people wanting to help your child.”

The Metherds are patrons of the arts and want to give their sons a chance to experience the theater. The family enjoyed a Jan. 12 sensoryfriendly showing of a children’s opera, Hansel and Gretel, at the arts center.

Every month, the arts center holds a modified show for people with sensitivities to light or sound. The sensoryfriendly arts program was designed to give families of children with disabilities a place to enjoy the arts together.

Fernando Barros and his family, his wife and two daughters, 7 and 5, went to their first sensory-friendly show Jan. 12 and said they will be returning.

“We try to take them to events as much as I can, but the kids at this age don’t pay attention for an hour” at a time, said Barros, of Highlands

George Metherd presents a culture “passport” to Robin Scurto of the Lone Tree Arts Center moments before a Jan. 12 sensory friendly program.

NICK PUCKETT Ranch. Barros said it’s nice to have a place where they’re not concerned about bothering others during the show. “In this case, we can walk out whenever we want … It’s really good for the kids.”

A sensory-friendly program doesn’t look much different from a kids’ show.

The house lights are half-lit. No flashing lights. There aren’t any sharp, loud noises. Any scary characters are introduced before the show starts.

Kids are even provided a storybook about what they might experience at the performance —- from ushers, to actors, to the moment they leave the theater.

The performers are trained to soften their deliveries. In lieu of clapping, the audience motions its applause in American Sign Language, waving their hands above their heads like jazz hands.

The theater provides fidget toys and bean bags to play with during the show. Kids who need to talk during or through the show are welcome. Kids who need headphones can pick them

up at the entrance. Around the corner from the theater is a designated quiet space for kids who need a break or feel overwhelmed.

It’s a balance between adding more to the experience and limiting certain elements, said Robin Scurto, annual giving manager for the Lone Tree Arts Center, who helps manage the program.

“However they enjoy the arts, they are allowed to do that,” Scurto said.

The sensory-friendly program began at the Lone Tree Arts Center in 2012.

Since then it has shared the Denver Mayor’s Award with its partner, the Phamaly Theater Company, and in 2019 it won the Rex Morgan Award from the Science and Cultural Facilities District. Scurto said the Lone Tree Arts Center has led the way for many similar shows around the Denver area. Now, sensory-friendly programming is offered at places like the Denver Botanic Gardens and History Colorado Center.

Nonprofit aims to feed hungry kids on weekends New program will kick off at ThunderRidge High School

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While many may not think of Douglas County as a community where students struggle with hunger, a new nonprofit has been formed to address just that situation.

Highlands Ranch resident June Everett decided to start the organization, called the Backpack Society, when she learned that there are nearly 300 students in her area and about 8,000 in the district who qualify for free or reduced school lunches.

“I started digging into the numbers and it was just a surprise,” she said.

“People don’t think that this exists here in Douglas County.”

When she spoke to guidance counselors at nearby ThunderRidge High School about her idea to help provide six weekend meals for these kids, they gave her the green light.

“These kids come in and they’re not able to learn properly because they’re hungry,” she said. “They see that every day.”

There are 97 students at the high school in need of a free or reduced

lunch and 186 students at its feeder schools.

“A hungry kid is a hungry kid, it doesn’t matter where they’re located,” she said. “These kids get overlooked because of how wealthy the county is.”

The nonprofit is called the Backpack Society because the meals will be handed out in unmarked backpacks by the guidance counselor’s office.

“I want to keep it as anonymous as possible,” Everett said. “I feel like they’re going to be embarrassed so we need to be very careful in how we’re distributing it.”

Everett plans to kick off operations with a 20-student pilot program at ThunderRidge High School during the last nine weeks of the school year. In August, she hopes to open it up to all the other students at the high school and possibly the other feeder schools in the area, depending on funding.

Eventually, she hopes to spread the program to the entire district.

“I would like every kid to have an opportunity to have a meal,” she said.

As the nonprofit gets up and running, there will be multiple ways the community can help out, including volunteering and contributing funds, she said.

Donations can be made on the organization’s website, Backpacksociety. org, or on Facebook @BackpackSocietyCO.

June Everett is the founder of a new nonprofit in Douglas County called the Backpack Society. The organization aims to provide weekend meals for students who are eligible for free or reduced lunches.

Friends of teen murder victim celebrate her life with vigil Mile High Academy hosted the event in Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mya Pena, 17, was killed in what is being investigated as a murder-suicide on Jan. 14.

Pena was a soccer player and student at Mile High Academy in Highlands Ranch.

COURTESY PHOTO

Friends, fellow students and teachers of a recently slain teen celebrated the girl’s life during a candlelight vigil at Mile High Academy in Highlands Ranch on Jan. 16.

Mya Pena, 17, was a student at the school before she was killed Jan. 14 in what is being investigated as a murder-suicide.

During the vigil, students spoke to the crowd about Mya’s personality and their favorite memories with her.

“I knew Mya since the first grade,” one student said. “She was probably one of the toughest people I ever met.”

Many students broke down in tears as they talked about when they first met Mya and the impact she had on them.

“She was so supportive, she was always there for me,” a classmate said.

One friend spoke about a time when the two of them got lost in the woods together and she became panicked.

Mya told her to stop crying and said “let’s keep moving,” the friend said.

Commonalities emerged as the students told their stories, painting a vivid image of who Mya was and

what about her stood out the most: her unwavering smile, her competitive spirit, her independence and her support of friends.

A former coach told a story about Mya’s intensity on the soccer field but pointed out she had another side as well.

“She had this contrast of this toughness yet this tenderness all at the same time,” he said.

At some points, students spoke directly to Mya’s family, expressing sorrow for what happened and offering support.

“I’m so sorry this happened to you,” one student said through tears. “She was an amazing person who cared about everyone around her.”

Mya was killed after she got into a car with Samuel Hoffman, a longtime friend, after school on Jan. 14, Sheriff Tony Spurlock told reporters in a recent news conference.

Investigators believe that within 15 minutes, Hoffman had killed her.

Later that night, law enforcement found Hoffman’s car and when they made contact with him, the 18-yearold took his own life.

Hoffman, from Centennial, had been placed on an emergency mental health hold in the past and was being investigated in Aurora for a domestic violence incident involving a different girl.

The apparent murder-suicide is still under investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

As of Jan. 17, a GoFundMe created to support the Pena family and verified by them had raised more than $25,000.

Crisis Center to run seminar for teens on healthy relationships Seminar in Douglas County will begin on Jan. 23

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Crisis Center in Douglas County will be running a five-week course for teens about building self-worth, establishing healthy relationships and domestic violence prevention. The Crisis Center’s Community Advocate Amanda Wilson spoke to ColoWilson rado Community Media about the seminar, which begins Jan. 23.

Please tell us a little about you and your role with the Crisis Center.

I am a Community Advocate here at the Crisis Center. I provide case management, such as domestic

violence education and local resource connection, to individuals impacted by domestic violence. The Crisis Center serves adults and children impacted by domestic violence in the 18th Judicial District, which includes Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln and parts of Arapahoe counties. Our services include a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter, therapy, legal advocacy and community-based advocacy. We also provide prevention activities, education and outreach to the community.

Tell us about the upcoming seminar for teens. What does it entail?

The class I am set to run, which will be available every Thursday for 5 weeks (from Jan. 23 through Feb. 20) is all about building on self-worth to facilitate healthy relationships. We will talk about what self-worth is, how it helps us recognize healthy patterns, and how this translates into dating relationships. It will be held at our office in northern Douglas County.

up for the seminar, we will coordinate with them on the location.

Who can participate and how?

Any teen is able to attend. In Colorado, anyone age 15 or older can participate or seek services without parental consent if necessary. In order to attend this or any of our groups/classes/services, an individual does need to complete an intake with our navigator.

This is a short process, and they can do so by calling our hotline at 303-6888484 and asking to be connected to our navigator who can schedule this with them right away. Once that process has been completed and the individual is in our system, they are welcome to attend one or all of the classes moving forward. I will reach out via the safe phone number provided at intake to verify the attendance list.

non-therapeutic group offerings such as this. We know that teen dating violence is a very real issue facing youths right here in our community, and we want to do what we can to reach teens, hopefully before they experience dating violence, to provide education and support. By empowering them with tools and factual information, such as red flag behaviors and local resources they can access for themselves or their friends, we hope to prevent not only teen dating violence, but future domestic violence as well.

Why offer this to the community? Where did the idea come from and what is the goal?

The Crisis Center is committed to working toward a violence-free community, and part of that is through

Anything else you would add? Where can people find more information?

If anyone, teen or adult, is experiencing intimate partner violence, or knows someone who is, you are not alone. There are resources for help available.

You can find more information by checking out our website www. thecrisiscenter.org, calling our 24/7 hotline 303.688.8484, or looking us up on Facebook, IG, Twitter, or LinkedIn.

“I didn’t do well at Chaparral because I started to skip classes. I didn’t turn in my homework, and then from there I was afraid to try again and get up on my feet, because I didn’t think that was possible,” Pletscher said.

She didn’t know if she would graduate high school, but at Eagle learned

it’s up to her to use the tools she’s given in life, she said.

“I was able to re-evaluate who Hadley is and who I want to be and that I do have all of the strength in me,” she said. “I am capable of graduating with a high school diploma and so much more, because that’s just the beginning.”

E

nglish jurist John Selden (15841654) said, “Syllables govern the world.”

Maybe syllables governed the world in the 17th cenQUIET tury, but lately they have been treated DESPERATION with impudence and disrespect in the name of convenience.

There are those who think as Selden did and quite a few of them are within the sound of my voice: namely the “Quiet Desperation” readers Craig Marshall who entered my annual haiku contest.

Smith This column highlights some of the best entries.

While I encouraged a wide range of themes, the majority of the haiku I

received focused on the new year, and it was understandable. Last year was not Miss America, particularly in the final weeks during the impeachment hearings.

Then, guess what? The new year starts off with a bang, as it were, in Iran and international tension is on high alert.

Seventeen-syllable poems might seem like butterflies in a tornado right now, but I think they are reminders of the sustenance in human creativity.

Please welcome Becky Bland and her family.

She wrote: “Des Moines, Iowa / Castle Rock, Colorado / We found a new home.”

Look at little “Iowa.” It uses up three syllables all by itself.

What are the longest one-syllable words? “Stretched,” “scrounged,” and

“scratched.”

Leslie Stevens, Highlands Ranch, said her haiku was written for a ladies’ hiking group called the “WalkieTalkies.”

“We walk and we talk / Challenged by the rocky trail / Exhausted, refreshed.”

Art Elser, Denver: “on our morning walk / a lone solitaire proclaimed / the winter solstice.”

Fran Fisher, Parker: “Marmalade cat friend / Golden age gilded by sun / His late afternoon.”

Andy Schramm, Evergreen, has a sense of humor: “Today’s top story / Violent alpine overthrow / A very high coup.”

Michael Collier, Lafayette, California: “Risky investments / The dog was chasing its tail / Calm 2020.”

In case you are wondering: “The usual way to refer to years is to pro-

nounce the first two digits together as one number, and the second two together as another number (pearsonlongman.com)”; therefore, 2020 (twenty-twenty) equals four syllables.

Andrea Corbo, Highlands Ranch: “This lame haiku is / My quiet desperation / Written just for you.”

The words “quiet desperation” are attributed to Henry David Thoreau and they were appropriated by Pink Floyd.

Sharene Schmalz, Cincinnati: “Ravage destruction / Oh, when will it ever end? / Let it be this year.”

Looks like we may have to wait, Sharene.

Ed Billingsly, Parker: “Complimentary / Dazzling necktie, red and green / Complementary.”

Domination through disruption opens huge opportunities

W LETTER TO THE EDITOR Put onus on universities Gov. Polis has seen fit to make a donation in all taxpayers’ names to a cause he sees as worthy, repaying two years of some graduates’ college loans. That may be a worthy cause, but it’s rather disingenuous since he is planning to make the donation with other people’s money, namely tax dollars.

Instead of using our tax money, he should press CU, with an endowment of $1.45 billion, to invest in students through loans and loan guarantees instead of stocks, bonds, real estate and other non-education

related investments. Loans could make money for the university if the graduates are successful and able to pay them off. If not, then the university should examine why it is producing graduates who are unable to earn enough to pay back their loans, and adjust their programs and costs to resolve the problem that they created and have the most control over.

Universities need to be more vested in the financial outcome of the education product they are selling.

hen we look at some of the most recent and incredible success stories in business, sports, and artistic performance we are seeing a bit of a trend, aren’t we? What we are seeing are companies, teams, and individuals who are winning and winning big through disruption. They are doing things we never imagined possible and chang- WINNING ing the conversaWORDS tions we are having with one another as we discuss their amazing feats.

These are the businesses, organizations, and people who look for competitive advantages and opportunities to challenge the status Michael Norton quo on a regular basis. It could be new technology, leveraging data, and developing excellence in their people and in themselves in new and transformational ways. They monitor trends in the industry, in the game, and from the stage to look for any new opening and

idea that leads them to turn things on their head and defy new levels of achievement.

Companies, teams, players, and artists who are dominating through disruption also do something else better than their competitors. While looking for breakthrough moments and ideas, they still focus on the fundamentals, the blocking and tackling if you will. Solid research that leads to structured planning and then doing the behaviors necessary to leverage the research and execute against the plan. Couple that with working on instinct when necessary and you have a recipe for disruptive success.

Holding fast to the fundamentals while looking for ways to be disruptive takes innovative leadership and a creative team that is committed to the tried-and-true fundamentals that serve as the foundation for success, yet curious enough to push the boundaries and norms to explore options that others may have missed or had never even considered.

I am not just referring to the newest, latest and greatest gadgets, widgets and gizmos that hit the market,

amazing thinking, disruptive thinking. The kind of disruptive thinking that could lead to domination and success.

And what do I mean by domination?

Domination is not just for big companies, professional teams, or individual performers. Domination could be for every size company and for each one of us too. Dominating a local market by being a bit disruptive. Breaking a bad habit, through a disruptive and new or better habit. Dominating other poor practices that we follow and want to change by stretching the boundaries of our thinking. We all have the capacity to make new decisions based on new information, and maybe our

input needs a dose of disruptive thinking.

“The fastest way to success is by replacing one bad habit with one good habit” - Tom Ziglar With a focus on the fundamentals and a willingness to be a little disruptive, we can leverage our core strengths and begin developing new attitudes, behaviors, and techniques in all areas of life. Breaking through our comfort zone and status quo doesn’t necessarily mean we abandon our belief system, it means we look for new ways to live, work, play, compete and succeed in whatever it is we choose to do in work, life, and play.

How about you? Could you benefit

from a little disruptive thinking as we continue to kick off the new year?

Is there something that is calling for you to raise the bar higher, something yet to conquer, or something you need to dominate or defeat? I would love to hear all about it at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can build a little healthy disruption into our lives, it really will be a better than good week, maybe even a dominatingly good week.

Want to record a song?

Learn to sew? Try virtual reality? Head to the library!

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t all started with a state parks pass.

Areli Alcazar, a teacher at Kenton Elementary School in Aurora, stopped by the Schlessman branch of Denver Public Library a couple years ago, where a librarian told her DPL checks out passes to Colorado State Parks.

Before long, Alcazar and her family were hitting the trails in Roxborough and Chatfield state parks for the first time, toting a library-provided knapsack filled with binoculars, field guides and other gear.

“The pass gave us an incentive to be adventurous,” Alcazar said.

When she dropped off the pass at the library, she asked what else the library had to offer. The answers are still unfolding, and Alcazar is hooked.

An avid biker, Alcazar uses the library’s bike repair kits. Her desk is scattered with keepsakes and doohickeys she’s 3D-printed at Denver library makerspaces. She learned to sew LED lights into clothing. She helped her mom test the efficiency of her home appliances with a power check meter.

She and her friends check out passes to local museums. Now, when she’s bored, Alcazar said she drops into a library and asks what they can teach her today.

“If it’s all at our disposal,” Alcazar said, “why not try it out?”

‘The sky’s the limit’ Across the Denver metro area, libraries are redefining themselves, with innovative offerings meant to expand minds and lives.

“When people say libraries are obsolete, we say, ‘Are they? Let’s find out,’ ” said Anthony White, the manager of web systems for Arapahoe Libraries, which operates eight branches in Arapahoe County.

The district now features three recording studios outfitted with green screen walls and video and audio editing software. The Koelbel branch has a 39-seat theater available for plays, films and performances. The Castlewood branch will reopen in April with a purpose-built makerspace, featuring 3D printers, laser cutters, a ceramic kiln and more — double the size of the old makerspace, housed in a repurposed conference room.

“We really want to explore all the roles a library can play in a community,” White said. “The sky’s the limit.”

For some, that can mean learning skills that are otherwise out of reach.

Emily Roberts, a university librarian herself, wanted to try working with wool.

CHECKING OUT

Arapahoe Libraries technology specialist Kate O’Brien plays a tune in Southglenn Library’s recording studio.

Colorado residents can get library cards for most of the state’s library districts for free. Most require a photo ID and proof of address.

The vast majority of library services, including state parks passes, museum passes, access to makerspaces and nontraditional items, are available for no charge. Some libraries may impose time or quantity limits on items like 3D printers that use consumable materials.

Numerous local library districts offer a wide array of services, including personalized book and movie recommendations, access to research databases, streaming movies and documentaries, classes, clubs and connections to other community services.

Many local library districts are now finefree, meaning they only impose fees for lost or damaged materials. Fine-free library districts include Jefferson County Libraries, Arapahoe Libraries and Denver Public Library.

Fairy tale princesses have long been part and parcel of our literary and social fabric, as they were created from ancient folk tales — and have more recently evolved through Disney films and now, via “Disenchanted,” an off-Broadway hit, which shifts them into feminist folk!

The composer/playwright is Dennis T. Gialcino, who developed this new musical with off-Broadway director Fiely Matias, perhaps stepping on some toes along the way …

As lights go up at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton, where “Disenchanted,” directed and choreographed by the multi-talented Nick Sugar, plays through Feb. 9, we meet Snow White (Abby McInerny), who translates as a leadership star; Cinderella (Lindsay Fuller) and Sleeping Beauty (LuAnn Buckstein) belting a strong “One More Happ’ly Ever After.”

Also featured: Belle, the Beauty

“Place and Time” by Littleton’s rita derjue is among her paintings exhibited at Bemis Library in Littleton through January.

Ashley Kazyaka checks on the progress of a 3D-printed tent pole connector at the Denver Public Library Central Branch’s IdeaLAB makerspace.

Kazyaka oversees the district’s makerspace program, which gives patrons access to a wide variety of tools and machinery.

She bought $15 worth of raw wool online, then headed to Castlewood Library to process it on a drum carding machine.

“I could invest $15 to learn something new,” Roberts said. “What I couldn’t do was invest $300 in classes and studio time. The library staff walked me through it — there’s only so much you can learn from a book.”

For others, it can mean a welcome reprieve when life throws them a curveball.

Anthony Montoya, a tax attorney in Castle Rock, found himself jobless when his law firm laid off his division.

“I was on my own all of a sudden, and everybody said I needed a commercial,” Montoya said. “Studios wanted to charge a lot of money, but the library in Parker had a green room, cameras and editing software.”

A Douglas County librarian gave Montoya and his wife a crash course in the equipment, and over a couple visits, he produced his own commercial.

“Another attorney told me recently they really liked my commercial, and asked who I hired to make it,” Montoya said. “I was pretty tickled by that.”

‘A beautiful thing’ New library offerings can be a powerful force for self-sufficiency, said Ashley Kazyaka, the program coordinator for Denver Public Library’s Ide-

aLAB, a group of makerspaces spread throughout the DPL system.

“I think there’s a beautiful thing that happens when you learn to do something yourself,” said Kazyaka, amid a hum of activity in the Central Branch’s IdeaLAB. “People can come in here and learn to sew on buttons or fix their cell phones. We’ve even had people experiencing homelessness who come in and 3D-print replacement parts for their backpacks. The ability to solve problems can translate into bigger things in people’s lives.”

At a nearby sewing machine, Markie Arendelle sat at a sewing machine, repairing a rip in his winter coat.

“This place is empowering,” said Arendelle, a singer and DJ. “I’m selfemployed, and here I can print my stickers and iron-on patches — it saves me so much money.”

Libraries can also give people a chance to try out tech and toys they might not otherwise have access to, said Andrea Wyant, a collection devel-

opment librarian for Douglas County Libraries.

Wyant heads the district’s “nontraditional items” collection, where patrons can check out items ranging from high-end digital cameras, virtual reality headsets and karaoke machines to digital projectors and retro video game consoles.

“We can give people access to things they can use and return without cluttering up their houses or unnecessarily duplicating things,” Wyant said.

“Sharing is caring. How much stuff do we all need in our lives?”

Looking to the future A wide range of new offerings doesn’t mean libraries are skimping on the reading material, said Donna Walker, the executive director of Jefferson County Libraries. In fact, she said, they’re exploring new ways to deliver that, too.

Jeffco’s libraries are expanding their e-book offerings, and for those

who prefer the printed page, they’re rolling out Redbox-like book vending machines and Amazon-style lockers. Patrons can also schedule home or office visits from librarians who specialize in fields like academics or business.

Meanwhile, Jeffco is in the process of remodeling all 10 of its branches, including, yes, more makerspaces.

“We want to stay a step ahead of the community,” Walker said. “A decade ago, people said: ‘Who goes to the library anymore?’ Now, we’re hearing from people who have cards to five different local library systems.”

Walker said in a time of expansion, it’s important that libraries endear themselves to the community. While the economy is hot now, they’ve got to prepare in case things get tight.

“During the recession, libraries faced a lot of hardships,” Walker said.

“Hours were cut. Positions were cut.

Our job is to manage our growth and our finances, and build relationships.

Libraries are an essential service.

They’re part of the bedrock of democracy.”

The big picture, Walker said, is that libraries are expanding beyond the buildings they’re housed in.

“We talk about the library being everywhere,” Walker said. “Libraries can be in your pocket. We can come to you.”

While libraries don’t charge users for services, Walker said, everyone chips in.

“People are paying for this through their taxes,” Walker said. “You might as well use what you’re paying for.”

Periodic fasting gains followers

Diet trend calls for long periods without food, despite lack of evidence of benefits

BY CANDICE CHOI ASSOCIATED PRESS

A diet that forbids eating for hours on end might seem doomed in a culture where food is constantly available, but apps and Facebook groups are popping up for people practicing “intermittent fasting.”

Bri Wyatt, a 32-year-old Tennessee resident, tried it last summer.

“At first I was like, there’s no way,” she said.

But after reading more about it, she thought it might not be that hard.

She started by skipping breakfast and nighttime snacks, and later moved on to a 60-day challenge of fasting every other day.

Melissa Breaux Bankston, a Crossfit instructor in New Orleans, Louisiana, also tried intermittent fasting as a way to curb her snacking. “I wanted to limit the amount of time that I was eating,” she said.

Studies on the potential health benefits of intermittent fasting are still limited, including for its effectiveness with weight loss. But many are won-

TIL ONLY UN

dering whether it could help them get in better shape.

When, not what Like other diets, intermittent fasting helps you lose weight by setting boundaries around food. But instead of limiting what you eat, it restricts when you eat.

“It’s really another way of fooling your body into eating less calories,” said Krista Varady, who studies intermittent fasting at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Proponents say intermittent fasting helps with weight loss in other ways.

They say it forces your body to start burning its own fat for fuel after depleting the energy it normally gets from food. But any effects would depend on the specific approach you take, and Varady said there isn’t strong evidence yet that intermittent fasting has any unique effects compared with other diets.

Regardless, people should consult their doctor before trying it. It’s not advised for children, people on certain medications and people with a history of eating disorders.

Fasting menu One of the more popular approaches to intermittent fasting is to limit eating to an eight-hour window and to fast during the day’s other 16 hours. This is called time-restricted feeding and isn’t as difficult as other approaches, since

the fasting period can include the time you’re asleep.

Many people tailor the eating window to be shorter or longer. Some eat just one meal a day, while others fast entire days a couple times a week. On fasting days, people may allow themselves around 600 calories if needed. But Dr. Jason Fung, who has written books on intermittent fasting, says skipping food altogether might actually be easier, since eating small amounts could stimulate appetite.

Whatever the method, people aren’t supposed to gorge when they stop fasting. Fung says it’s a myth that fasting leaves you famished.

Sumaya Kazi, who posts about her intermittent fasting online and offers coaching services on the diet, says it seems more difficult than it is partly because overeating has become the norm. “Intermittent fasting is more of a mental challenge than a physical challenge,” she says.

But people react differently to diets, and fasting may be a lot harder for some than for others, says Dr. Fatima Stanford, a Harvard Medical School obesity specialist.

“There’s no one size fits all,” she said.

Fasting on trial Obesity experts have become interested in intermittent fasting, but studies on the diet are still emerging.

For now, limited research suggests it may not be any better for weight loss

than conventional calorie-cutting over the long term.

“Unfortunately, intermittent fasting gets a little hyped,” said Courtney Peterson, who studies the diet at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Still, some fasting approaches may be more effective than others. And Peterson notes the difficulty of designing studies that definitively capture a diet’s effects. That’s in part because so many other variables could be at play.

For instance, researchers are looking at whether any benefits of intermittent fasting might be tied to when the eating period falls and fluctuations in how well our bodies process food throughout the day.

Some health experts say intermittent fasting might be too difficult for many people. They point to a study of 100 people where those placed in the alternate-day fasting group lost around the same amount of weight as those on conventional calorie-restriction diets over time. But the fasting group had a dropout rate of 38%, compared with 29% for the conventional diet group.

But intermittent fasting may be easier than other diets for people who already skip meals when they’re too busy, said Varady of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

To make weight loss stick, she said people should pick diets that resemble how they already eat.

“Different diets do work for different people,” she said.

A live band sits up to the right, led by Music Director Donna Kolpan Debreceni on keyboards, Sean Case, percussion and Scott Alan Smith, bass — a truly fine addition when budget allows … It really adds to the overall pleasure of live theater in a way that recorded music does not.

This material doesn’t have the overall depth and strength of some of our longtime favorite musicals, so the breadth of the message carries less of a wow factor, but it is sassy and fun — and the performers bring voices and style as they play at being feisty princesses …

We felt that they were happy ever after — or at least on that night!

THEY’RE FIT TO BE TIED

Unified programs help make world a kinder place

here seems to be a culture that has developed around unified sports programs in the state.

Unified sports programs join youngsters with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. Unified is a division of Special Olympics.

Legend, Chaparral, Regis Jesuit and Smoky Hill were among the eight Colorado high schools to be named 2019 National Banner Unified Champion schools.

Legend has 15 OVERTIME disabled athletes, and the able-bodied kids that volunteer to help are called partners.

Legend has five unified sports (soccer, basketball, flag football, bowling and track and field) and hopes to add cheerJim Benton leading to the list Shelly Boyd is the unified coach and Significant Support Needs teacher at Legend, and has two assistant coaches in Karen Forbes and Jeremy Dorr.

“We get partners through word of mouth,” said Boyd. “Jeremy and I started with no partners and then we went to five and we have 60 now.

Sometimes we feel like we don’t have enough sports because we have so many partners.

“It has just turned into a beautiful program. It’s just the culture we have in the building. In the classroom we call them peer aides, so some of them are peer aides and partners, they get to know the kids and fall in love with the kids. We are blessed that we have a school that supports us. We are treated like any other sports program at the school.”

Larry Bull is the Cherry Creek district athletic director, and all the district schools have unified programs.

“I believe unified sports has changed the cultures at schools,” said Bull.

“It’s just the excitement for everybody involved, the happiness, the kindness and inclusion. It’s a difference maker.

It’s one of the best things we do.

“When you start talking unified sports, take it out into the hallway, where you see kids walking down the hall high-fiving kids with disabilities because of the unified programs.”

The Colorado High School Activities Association will sanction unified bowling as a sport next year and the CHSAA has matches, races and games at many of its events.

“People are recognizing there are kiddos within their schools that can participate on different levels and are going out and seeking them,” said CHSAA Assistant Commissioner Jenn Roberts-Uhling.

And Boyd points out that all partici-

pants are rewarded.

“They (disabled players) love it and the parents love it,” she said. “The parents are just so thankful. The students with disabilities want to be just like every other kid out there. When they get to be around partners, they are just their friends, they don’t see a difference.

“We think the neurotypical kids are helping the kids with disabilities.

It turns around where the disability kids have helped them become better people.”

Athletes of the Year Anna Hall and Cohlton Schultz will be honored at the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet on April 23.

Hall, of Valor Christian, is the high school girls Athlete of the Year. She won two individual medals plus ran on two title relay teams at last spring’s state track meet and earlier set a national high school heptathlon indoor record. She is now on the track team at Georgia.

Schultz was a four-time state wrestling champion at Ponderosa and went 188-2 with 115 pins in high school as a 285-pounder and heavyweight. He is now at Arizona State.

Honor roll Each week, performances of South Metro athletes and teams will be

highlighted. This week’s performances were selected from games, matches and meets held between Jan.10 and Jan. 16.

Senior Kobe Sanders scored 40 points as Chaparral, ranked 10th in the CHSAANow.com poll, defeated No. 5 Columbine in a Jan. 14 boys basketball game.

Cali Clark scored 19 points and Jana Van Gytenbeek added 18 as Cherry Creek, the top-ranked girls 5A basketball team, rallied to down fourth-ranked Highlands Ranch, 53-49, on Jan. 10. Taylor Ray of Highlands Ranch took scoring honors with 21 points.

Calvin Root had two goals and two assists to lead the Mountain Vista hockey team to a 6-3 win over Battle Mountain on Jan. 16.

Heritage won the Smoky Hill Invitational girls swim meet on Jan. 11 as Inge Ehm took first in the 100 butterfly, Aislyn Barnett in the 100 breaststroke and Anna Hall in the 200 IM. Junior Aj Kula had 18 points, which included four 3-point baskets, six assists and two steals, in Valor Christian’s 71-62 boys basketball win over Rock Canyon on Jan. 14.

Compliant IDs required for travel in late 2020

Colorado has issued compliant licenses, identification cards since 2012 STAFF REPORT

U.S. residents traveling in late 2020 will need to make sure they have a REAL ID starting Oct. 1. Identification cards and licenses that are compliant will have a star in the corner.

Colorado has issued compliant identification cards and licenses since 2012.

Residents who do not have a REAL ID — identifiable by a star in the corner of the card — are urged to not wait until the last minute to get a REAL ID.

To become REAL ID compliant, residents must go through the Department of Motor Vehicle’s normal issuance process. Visit www.colorado.gov/dmv for information on licensing and identification requirements.

Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act established national standards for state-issued driver licenses and identification cards. In accordance with the act, the DMV must verify an applicant’s full legal name, identity, date of birth and lawful presence in the United States when issuing a Colorado driver license or state identification card.

Starting Oct. 1, residents must have a REAL ID, or another acceptable form of identification, to access federal facilities and board commercial aircraft.
